Darin ft. Kat DeLuna – Breathing Your Love

The 6th Most Poptastic Single of 2008

Jordin Sparks – Tattoo (Jason Nevins Radio Edit)

Released: 24th March and 20th October (re-release)
Trivia: The original version of Tattoo completely passed me by in 2007, but this remix is utterly brilliant, and the UK release of the original is, I have decided, enough to warrant this version’s inclusion in my chart of the year.
Best bits: 1. Sorry! but! I have to move on and leave you behind
2. I will never regret you, still the memory of you marks everything I dooo-OHHHHH!
3. You’re still a part of everything I do, you’re on my heart just like a tattoo
